Yesterday, I nearly failed at one of the challenges I was given.
Sometimes, the people who supply the cakes for the Pump House decide to change things a bit. So instead of providing delicious cakes about 9 inches in diameter, (which are then cut into 8 slices of equal triangley shapes) they made some different flavour cakes in much smaller sizes. The smaller ones are about 3½ inches in diameter and 4 inches tall.
Considerable debate has been taking place over the past week, as to whether the new smaller cakes are big enough to be cut into two
and shared by two people who are having
or an alternative beverage at the café. Or are the cakes small enough to be eaten by one person?
Therefore as a dedicated volunteer, at lunchtime, I was asked to partake of research into the above parameters. Halfway through eating the cake, I was nearly ready to admit defeat. I decided to save the second half of the cake to accompany my
at three pm. However, I was consuming the cake while sat outside in the sunshine. the temperature was warming up considerably, and I doubted the cakes abiility to survive the warmth of the day, so bravely I proceeded to eat it all.
Unfortunately my research proved inconclusive regarding the size of the cake. It may need to be repeated next time. I was able to state categorically that the cake contained extreme deliciousness in great quantities. Perhaps I can prevail on Wocky to set some more rigid parameters regarding research into cake sizes.
